I’m not sure what today will bring yet, but I had to share this picture from yesterday. With all the fresh snow on the ground, we just couldn’t help it. We have this bottle of fantastic Loganberry syrup, and it was just screaming to be used for a snow cone. […]

Something New Today
Today is a snow day, and sadly, much too blustery to enjoy it by playing outside in it. Hopefully tomorrow we will have the chance to break out the sleds. But in the meantime, a snow day is still a special day, and that means a special treat to be […]
Happy Snow Day!

Breakfast. It’s What’s For Dinner.
There is little that is more economical that breakfast. Really. We like to have standard breakfast food for dinner every once in a while anyway because we’re not big breakfast people. Breakfast for us is usually a bowl of cereal, so we seldom have the opportunity to have eggs, pancakes, […]
As Promised… those tacos!
I had my Rick Bayless returned to me yesterday. And right away I hunted for that pork recipe. We happened to have had it again just this past Sunday, and it was still incredible. Seriously! And since there were leftovers this time, our friends generously left them with us and […]
Is it a Salad? Or Dessert?
Or both? One of the many jobs I had was working in a grocery store deli. I really enjoyed that job. I worked in Green Bay at Festival Foods, so it was always busy. It was a high volume deli, so we were constantly busy helping customers and making food. […]
Pure Genius
Wolfgang Puck is truly a genius. Last night I made Wolfgang’s Beef Goulash for dinner, and it was truly spectacular. I found the recipe in my yet-to-be-used cookbook Food Network Favorites: Recipes from our All-Star Chefs. So even better than a stellar recipe- I managed to check off another one […]
A Slice
Over the last few days on the CLBB, there has been a discussion about Australia and some of the foods there. One of these creatures is called A Slice. A slice in Australia (best as I can tell anyway) is any kind of sliced bar cookie or dessert. And one […]
A Dud
I was so proud of myself for making a second recipe out of a cookbook for my challenge. But you know that feeling when you are assembling ingredients and you just know that the end product is not going to be stellar? Lately I’ve been discovering some real treasures of […]
Why, Oh Why
So I thought I’d done my daily post, and that would be that. Then I was over on Recipezaar looking for a couple things, and something really annoyed me. When I look up recipes there, I love to read the reviews of recipes. I can learn what other people liked […]
It’s Chili Time!
Last night was ballet, so dinner needed to be in the crock-pot. What has become one of Abigail’s favorite dinners is a bowl of chili, and it’s been a while since I made some, so chili night it was. I am one of those who likes their chili nice and […]
Lip-Smacking Good
The other day I was determined to check another cookbook off my list of cookbooks to cook from. I turned to the “Sunday Game Of The Week” on the CLBB. The premise of the game is that a random number is chosen, and you select that cookbook, learn a little […]
